Hello Spinal Tap Anvil Antwoord. You see back stage. This project right here is a photo collection taken on tour with two German bands (Bosse and Frida). The photographer has the name Heinrich Holtgreve and is really good at taking photos and making one photo tell the story of the whole space at once (or lack of story if that’s the case, if you know what I mean.) This set’s meant to show through documentation that touring with a band’s definitely not all glamourous diamond baths and sex with dollar bills and cheese snacks. Definitely not. Take this journey and smell the glove.

This right here is a celebration of SAMHAIN! I know the festival, the gaelic festival of the ending of the lighter time and the beginning of the darker time is over, heck, it was over at the beginning of November! But that’s no reason to be glum, I mean Glenn! It’s time to Danzig! Everybody get your posters out and graveyard boogie!

Sometimes you need to design a mark for a Finnish Heavy Metal band. Well you know that the greatest heavy metal logos of all time look basically the same. Metallica and Judas Priest, Slayer and AC/DC, and of course KISS. Look at them all. All basically totally the same. Sharp and shiny, a 3D version and a flatfaced version. And today we’ve got RECKLESS LOVE by designer/artist James White.

Ow gross that’s some snot there, isn’t it? Vannen watches is basically a super fabulously new watch maker. It’s tiny and it’s basically totally about making watches.

Street artist Sam3’s been up to some good, goodness sake. Look at these two newest works of his, both of them gigantic black figures rolling away the bad vibes of the billboards they live at. What a spectacular gesture. It doesn’t even have to be about advertising, it’s just that excellent. These were painted with simple black acrylic/oil/mixed paint, whatever was free at the time, painted with rollers on long sticks. See the other one below.

Blaugh! Look at these cool drawings. I want these printed gigantic or basically made into vinyl stickers and stuck to a wall. Big. I love the detail. These are pen and ink drawings from Iain Macarthur made for stickers and tshirts and junk.

Way cool, way cool.

Way big, way cool.

Dear Swedish artist who has made the collection of dead fly artworks you’ll see in this post right here. I would love to hear from you. I would like to give you credit for the greatest dead fly artworks that I have ever seen. I would like to compliment your use of bee and moth carcasses also. Let me know who you are! And let the internet have more of your utterly wondrous grotesque brilliance. Thank you!

Oh my scary goodness! Misfits have been making records since before… well not quite as long as KISS, but still, pretty long! And here’s a new one. As nearly always, we’re in on the artwork part of it, and I’m gonna go right ahead and say this is pretty swanky. Full of zazz. The cover is painted / designed by a mister Arthyr Suydam of “Marvel Zombies” fame. Do you recognize the setup? BONUS: the release date is Halloween 2009.
